Bearings

By JoeMcLaughlin, Posted June 3, 2011

Last weekend my youngest son's bike started screaming, a bearing is going out. I think it is the output shaft bearing: parts # 46033028000 GROOVED BALL BEARING 20X42X12 for $44.40! I did a little searching and I can find 20X42X12 bearing all day long for a few bucks. I am going to head down to a local bearing shop and see what they have. What gives with the big price tag for the OEM bearing? Oh and the OEM bearing is an SFK 6004 tn9/ce made in France.

Not sure why the big bucks for the OEM....You might be able to find just as good (or better) somewhere much cheaper but I can't say for sure. Personally, I'm too ignorant to safely substitute OEM parts like that.
